Santiago Restaurants

    Green is the theme in this fruity little café. As the name implies, it prides itself on its natural ingredients, and it's a good central fuelling point for juices, salads and sandwiches.

  3. El Huerto

    This charming locale proves that vegetarian can work in Chile - its inventive menu seduces even the most avowed carnivore. Self-confessed steak fiends may feel the urge to tell complete strangers about the Vegetarian Planet dish (say, spinach fettuccini with tofu cream sauce). A smaller, cheaper menu is available from the adjacent breakfast/lunch take-away Café La Huerta. Cooking lessons are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

  4. El Naturista

    Look no further than El Naturista if you're hunting for a cheap and cheerful antidote to the meat-crammed menus that dominate Chile. This is the central branch of a vegetarian chain with an impressive range of pasta, salad and crepe dishes, although do not expect much in the way of finesse. There is also a more upmarket branch at Av Vitacura 2751 in Las Condes.
